5 x disagrees for this post. I was right - some people HAVE forgotten how bad Doherty is.

He's not great but at least he's a wing back. Our best football came last spring when he was playing and he did fairly well in that spell. I'd rather play Spence but Doc preferable to Emerson.
Play Spence. Let's see how he does.
If spence was playing at forest now in the premier people would be raving about his performances for them and other clubs linked to him.
Such a simplistic view.
It's that classic English attitude of 'every foreign team is rubbish and we should be rolling over them'.
They lost to the mighty Chaves but also put three past Eintract Frankfurt away last week.
For me we didn't play that bad last night. We created chances, we dominated most of the game but the trouble is when you concede 2 goals in the space of about 30 seconds it flatters the other team and makes them look like they battered us which causes the mass criticism.
A draw would have been a fair result and unfortunately we let it slip which isn't good enough so we lost, move on and beat Leicester on Saturday and all of a sudden its a different outlook.
You are the ultimate kill them with kindness Mrs P . Always fair , rational and pleasant, yet somehow we are all terrified of upsetting you. Quite the skill I must say
Left this thread as soon as the goal went in for sanities sake.
My take away note is this has to be a wake p call to Conte.
He cannot keep picking Son and Royal. He needs to change those 2. They're contributing little to nothing game after game.
We need a midfielder who is always available for the ball and can dribble. Someone like Bissouma. So I propose......we use Bissouma.
As much as I rate Conte as a coach, I will be unhappy with him if either or both Son and Royal start the game on Saturday evening. I thought he was reticent to change it because we weren't losing.
Well, we've lost. So change it.

I worry a little that Conte is the stubborn type and the louder the calls for them to be
There is absolutely no logical reason why Emerson has started every single game when there are 2 alternatives within the squad, with the amount of games in the schedule it wouldn't even be a contentious decision that required explanation. He's benched Kulusevski for a sustained period now ffs but won't rotate Emerson for one damn game???
Pretty much exactly how I saw it.
100% this.
We had so many good opportunities but our final ball simply was not good enough.
Haha... Just clocked your avatar!
"May the flame of our love never die"
Last 6 EPL games Doc started before he got injured.
4-0, 5-0, 2-3, 2-0, 3-1, 5-1
2 goals and 3 assists and IMO we played the best football of the season during this period.

Doherty scored 2 goals in that spell. One against Leeds away (4-0), and the other against Newcastle at home(5-1).
Wash your mouth out cretinous will be after you and a few other conte fan bois

Disagree for a joke. Tough crowd
Of course was just a joke. You can't travel around watching spurs without embracing the lighter side of Life.
It’s like the tactic is hope the oppo don’t score and we conjure up something out of nothing. V OM we didn’t look like scoring for a month of SUNDAYS even v 10 men. Then a couple of crosses land where they should and we score. Isn’t that what Burnley, Bolton , Wimbledon use to do? Thing is against teams like sporting with our height advantage we should actually have crossed the ball more into the box. However our corners were shocking again (what is the set piece coach doing) and royal is dross. When perri puts the ball in the box no one is there as they are too ficking lazy to make a run into box.
If you don't laugh, you'll cry. Spending £100s and time going out to watch European away games means you have to take the rough with the smooth.Was a bad night for jokes
Don't let it spoil your day, if the game didn't mean so much to us we wouldn't. But alas we live and breathe spurs so it'll hurt for a while. The sooner the Leicester game comes around the better. But we need a win for it to get out of the system.
Enough rationale to remove the disagree?
